The Loyola Maroon Volume XXI X 257 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., NOVEMBER 26, 1943 No. 7 Alpha Sigma Nu Nominates 9; Will be Inducted In January Nine pledges to Alpha Sigma Nu, national Jesuit honor society, were announced Tuesday by the Rev. Charles C. Chapman, S.J., moderator. . They will be formally inducted and will receive their keys at the annual banquet in January."Those elected to the society are chosen from the upper division students by the president of the university and the dean of each college for their scholarship, service, and loyalty," Father Chapman said. Two students are selected each year from the junior and senior classes of each college. The president may also name three students from the University at large. Student pledges are: Bernard Waard, Arts and Sciences senior; Edward Socola, junior; James D. McGovern Jr., former Arts and Sciences junior; Ira Walker and Edward Faget, School of Dentistry; Charles M. Ives, Law senior; Max Burgdorf, Pharmacy senior. Patrick N. Stumpf, former student, now :i midship- at Notre Dame, and Emil J. Schillio, 1942 Music graduate, are the first alumni to be admitted into the fraternity. Mr. Schillio is well known as a conductor, composer, and orchestra arranger, Father Chapman said. "His orchestra is perhaps the best local orchestra on the air and can be heard every Monday night over radio station WWL." Present officers of the society are Des Dardene, president; Matthew Kennedy, vice-president; Albert C. Gawey, secretary; Virgil Jackson, treasurer. All are in the armed services. Slow Response By Students For Blood Bank Students have been rather slow in responding to the appeal for blood donors, Jayne Brennan, chairman of Theta Beta's blood bank drive, said. Up to Tuesday noon only the members of Delta Sigma Delta, international dentistry fraternity, and Roland Smith, Dentistry freshman, had volunteered to give the vitally needed blood. Miss Brennan urged the students to get behind the blood bank drive which ends Monday, December 6. She particularly asked that organizations volunteer in groups. "We would try to realize what just one contribution of blood can do to help protect the lives of our boys on the battlefront," the chairman said. "The blood given to the Red Cross in this drive is made into blood plasma. Many men die on the battlefield because they have lost blood and have no means of getting someone to give them a transfusion. » Loyola ASTU Is Doing OK The 3881st Army Specialized Training unit stationed at Loyola stands high in scholarship and organization according to its commandant, Major Martin S. Chester. All the men in the 3881st have lived up to the scholastic requirements of the Dentistry school, and many have written and praised the instruction received here. As an example, Major Chester cites the terse message received from Joseph E. Rutledge, who is now stationed at Carlisle barracks, Pa. He writes, "Appreciated training at Loyola." "The men stationed here are usually spared some of the rigors that must be faced in their basic training. No formal army tests are given to them, and they have only to be accepted by the authorities of the Dental school," Major Chester said. "Their course of study usually requires four years. The men stationed here represent all parts of the nation, and, upon graduating, they are again scattered. They go to Carlisle barracks, to Camp Barkeley, Texas, or they're liable to go anywhere." Forums To Be Held Every Sunday During Advent Religious round table discussions on the Incarnation will be held every Sunday morning in Advent at 10:45 in Marquette auditorium, the Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., director of the program, announced today. A 15-minute talk by one of the Jesuit priests will proceed each of the open forum discussions. The speakers are the Revs. Edward Shields, Martin Burke, E. Murphy, and C. M. Willie. "The purpose of these religious discussions is to increase the knowledge of Catholic doctrine among lay men and women," Father Toomey said. All members of the faculty and student body are invited to attend. Students Journal Proves Popular Letters Attest Quality Of Pharmacy Magazine More than 200 laudatory letters attest to the quality of the Pharmacy Journal, monthly magazine published by the students of the College of Pharmacy. Gertrude Connolly is the editor. The feature editor is "Anna St. Pierre, and the news editor is Lelia Clesi. In addition to news of the College of Pharmacy, the Journal carries information about pharmacy graduates. The remainder of the magazine includes a quiz, short stories of happenings in the college, anecdotes, and quotations. In the inside cover is listed all service men with their rank and year of graduation. Dean John F. McCloskey of the College of Pharmacy says that "the Journal is also subscribed to by the Library of Congress. If one were to read all of the magazine, a veritable history of Loyola university would be the result."Staff members are Shirley Ann Poche, Irene Deßouen, Max Burgdorf, Theresa Hubert, Harold Fields, and Alice Ann Porrier. On the business staff are Margaret Norris, Ricks Price, W. Langston Yancey, Charles Cullota, and Aurelia Descaunets. WWL To Give Programs On Brazil And Chile Programs on Brazil and Chile will be presented Tuesday and Thursday at 9:45 p. m. over WWL in a series of salutations in honor of South American countries. Uruguay and Peru were saluted last Tuesday and Thursday nights. NOTICE, MAROON The Maroon staff will meet next Friday at 4:35 p.m. Members of the staff must report to the news room Monday for assignment. Loyola Donates Drug Museum Pharmacy Collections To Be Given To City Loyola university will do] nate old pharmacy equipment, fittings, and documents for a j pharmaceutical museum to be established by the city commission in the building at 516 Chartres street which housed the Dufilho pharmacy, first drug store in the Mississippi val ley. Announcement of the donation was made Friday to the New. Orleans Item by the Rev. P. A. Roy, S.J., president of the University. Dean John F. McCloskey and Dr. Edward J. Ireland of the College of Pharmacy have been collecting the museum pieces for several years. The collection inj eludes rare equipment used by pharmacists in former days, and some valuable books and documents, the dean sa"id. The museum will give the public and the druggists of the country an opportunity to see a replica of one of the first drug stores in the country, Father Roy said. Henry Ford has a similar project in Detroit, he added. The building in which the museum is to be housed was bought several years ago by Mayor Robert S. Maestri and given to the city. After several projects for its restoration were considered and rejected, the commission council of the city approved the plan for restoring the pharmacy and stocking it with the Loyola collection. You'd Better Come, In Spite Of Leo's Lead By LEO ADDE We're warning you Don't come to Talent Night tomorrow unless you can afford to miss seeing the original Loyola Jones boys in blackface, or a husky ex-football player crooning "Paper Doll." Don't come to the sixth annual Talent Night at 7:30 p. m. in Holy Name auditorium, and you'll miss the ten other acts, which range from a slapstick skit to a violin solo. Campus Queen Nellie Arnoult, Arts and Sciences sopho- more, and her six maids will be introduced, and a gym jam will follow from 9:30 to 12. Leslie George's music will* set the cats jumping. Who else but the freshmen would attempt something like "You Can't Try an Insane Man," a farce which contains such talent as Eddie Brown and Bill Redmann of the Arts and Sciences college? Only the sophomores, whose sketch promises to be a surprise. Even they don't know what it's called. Last year's runners-up, Thomas and James Jones, Dentistry sophomores, again don the burnt cork, while Jimmy Quinn, a grid letterman at Jesuit, will sing "Paper Doll" and "Can't Get Out of This Mood." Quinn is a pre-med student.I The School of Pharmacy will be represented by Mahlen Muaux, 1 freshman, who will play a medley of marches and a popular tune on { his piano accordion. There will be two piano numbers—a burlesque solo by Adrien j (Cisco) Bodet, Arts and Sciences ' freshman, and a duet, the "Doll Dance," by Gloria Kosselli and Jacqueline Brady, juniors in the School of Music. Marcelle Will Sing Marcelle Bolman, Music senior, will sing "Begin the Beguine" and the "Kashmiri Song." Fran Hart, senior, will yodel some Christmas songs, and Leonore Gutierrez will sing the Waltz Song from "Romeo j and Juliet," by Gounod. Pat McGoey and Arthur Chaussier will do a dance routine, and Euphemie Blanc, Music senior, will give a violin solo of "Adoration" and "Sleepy Lagoon" to round out the program. Music senior Jane Hatrel, winner last year, will sing "Night and Day" and several other numbers as guest star. Judges for the acts are the Rev. Loyd Hatrel, S.J., student counselor; Dr. Alfred Bonomo, di rector of the University's radio educational programs, and John Kent, announcer for WWL. He Taught Bayonet And Grenade, Likes Snakes, Writes Editorials By JULIETTE TUREAUD Campus Personality How would you like to meet a bayonet and grenade instructor, an anti-tank gunner, a soldier of the 'Blue" army, a potential songwriter, and a connoisseur of snakes, all combined into one Loyola student? If you should happen to see Hubert J. Badeaux around the campus, take a second look at him, for this blond pre-medical freshman is the holder of all the above titles. While in high school Hubert was a member of a Na- tional Guard regiment and was called into Federal service by presidential order. "My regiment was one of the first to be called," he said. Four days before Pearl Harbor he received an honorable discharge from the army, but not before he had added to his list of unusual experiences. "One day while on maneuvers, I picked off two enemy men of the 'Red' army who were trying to cut the communication line between the observation post and the gun emplacement." For this he received a citation from his battalion commander.Didn't Like Tank Ride Hubert was in the anti-tank battalion and had a chance to ride in one of the iron monsters. With due apologies to the motor corps, he recalls the ride to be "a combination of the West End street car and the Frenchmen bus." "In the army I had a chauffeur's rating until they found out I couldn't drive. They gave me the rating of a bugler, too, but I couldn't blow a note." He Collect* Snake* Snake collecting has been one of Hubert's many hobbies. "I started out 12 years ago by collecting legends about snakes, and then decided to see for myself if they were true," he said. "For instance, there is a story that the stinging snake has a horn in the tip of his tail, which gives instant death, even to trees, if contacted. I've caught about 50 stinging snakes and haven't found the death-dealing barb yet." Asked why he is the humane defender of snakes, he added that "there are so many things that people don't know about reptiles; they have an unreasonable fear of them." Because his snakes, of which he gets a new supply every year, and his pre-medical studies are not enough to occupy his time, Hubert plays chess, goes hunting, writes to friends in Norway, Equador, and Iceland, holds a full-time 40-hour-a-week job, pounds out Maroon editorials, and does card tricks for Loyola's "cafeteria society."He has spread his talents over practically every field. "For ten months I was a federal dredge inspector on a boat. I also tried my hand at trucking cotton down on the docks," he said. "I was the only white man on the whole crew." To fill in his spare moments Hubert says he "likes to read the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and to listen to cowboy songs and classical music." His favorites are the light operas of Gilbert and Sullivan.Alumni Set $10,000 Quota In Fund Drive A student center will be built on the campus after the war as a memorial to Loyola's war dead, Mr. Charles J. Rivet, president, announced at a banquet given by the Rev. P. A. Roy, president of the University, for the Loyola alumni association. The banquet, held Tuesday at the St. Charles hotel, opened the association's war memorial fund drive. The quota for the coming year has been set for $lO,OOO. "The plan is truly Christian and is a marvelous way to pay tribute to our war dead," Father Roy said in addressing the assembly. "Service to our fellow men is the highest pinnacle of perfection and in so doing we follow the example of Christ," he explained. THE REV. R. P. PHALEN, S.J THE REV. P. F. O'DONNELL, S.J Loyolans Died For 4 Freedoms, Fr. Curren Says By MARJORIE ZOLLINGER The catafalque lay under the high, arched dome of Holy Name church. Over it was draped a flag donated by the parents of Maynard S. Redell, one of Loyola's 18 war dead. They had died far away from the University they had loved, but the University as one man had honored them with all the dignity and solemnity of a Requiem Mass, celebrated by the University's president, the Rev. P. A. Roy, S.J. Now the Mass was over. Robed in a special black cape, Father Roy came down from the altar and blessed and incensed the catafalque while the choir chanted "Libera nos Domine." The silvery notes of "Taps" echoed softly through the dim church. The services were over. From the church filed the living who had honored the dead. In the lead were the soldiers and sailors of Loyola's ASTP program, followed by the black-robed priests, the families of the 18 honored dead, the lay faculty, alumni, students.The living men of Loyola who filed from the church remembered the words of the Rev. Dennis A. Curren, S.J., student counselor at Jesuit High school, who had delivered the eulogy at the Mass. "Men of Loyola, sons of a soldier saint," Father Curren had said in referring to the war heroes, "we recall your memory not to grieve, not to bury our hearts in oppressive sorrow, but as a 'sursum corda' to inspire us to greater efforts to become worthier citizens of the nation for which you gave your lives." Died for a Free World "These honored dead gave their lives that the world might be [ free," Father Curren said. "They gave their lives that totalitarian dictators who deify the state and place themselves above God might ■be crushed forever and go down to the oblivion and tongueless silence of the dreamless dust." Father Curren told his hushed audience that the 18 Loyolans had died that the four freedoms might be spread throughout the world. "For you they made the supreme sacrifice, not for the selfish ambitions of a Caesar or Napoleon, but that the constitution of the United States of America might grow younger with the ages and never be forgotten lore, and that the four freedoms it guarantees . . . may continue to flourish not only through . . . our great land, but that its principles might be communicated throughout the world. ". . . Nowhere in the history of the world have men laid down their lives so unselfishly or for such a noble cause." Service* Should Be Inspiration Father Curren told his audience that the services recalling the memory of Loyola's honored dead should be an inspiration "to do our part no matter what sacrifice is required." "When you feel tempted to complain about the hardships and sacrifices this war for freedom entails at home, think of the thousands of your fellow-citizens dying on the fiery, far-flung battlefields of the world. . . Let the memory hold back the critical, complaining word. . ." Selfish persons who are unwilling to do their part in the struggle for the freedom of the world, or who do it unwillingly, "are not even worthy of the name 'man', much less 'American'," the speaker declared. He also pointed out that the memorial service was not only in honor of the dead, but for the repose of their souls. He concluded his talk with a verse addressed to the beraved mothers of the 18 war dead. Weep not to think he died alone Far from his loved ones' care, For every son on the fields of war Has a mother who watches there And Mary who followed the bloody steps That led to Calvary Was with your boy when he gave his life That others might be free. She wrapped him warm in her mantle of blue And folded him to her breast Whispering in his listening ear "Son, come home to rest!" His haven was all that man 'night ask For who would choose nnother And comfort lies in these sweet words He died in the arms of his mother. Annual Three-Day Retreat To Begin Next Wednesday Fathers Phaleli And O'Donnell Give Exercises Loyola students will take time off from studies and activities to take a spiritual inventory of themselves durng the annual retreat which begins next Wednesday and ends next Saturday. The Revs. Robert P. Phalen, S.J., and Peter P. O'Donnell, S.J., will conduct the exercises, which will close with a genera) Communion and the conferring o* the Papal blessing. Father Phalen will be retreat master for the men, and Falher O'Donnell for the coeds. Services for the men will be held in Holy Name church, and for the cdeds in Marquette auditorium. Instructions for night school students will be held in the auditorium! at 7:45 p. m. Stre»»e» Importance of Retreat In stressing the importance of I the retreat to students, the Hev. Loyd F. Hatrel, S.J., student counselor, pointed out that "the thre» days . . . which Loyola university sets aside each year . . . are the most important and profitable oi the scholastic term." "In the army the recruit, as soon as he is drafted, is sent to a staging area to get basic training in order that he may be fitted and adapted for army life. Retreat time might be compared to a staging area where the retreatant studies deeply and prayerfully the great truths which will fit ,iim for the great battle of life. "The three days then which Loyola university sets aside each year for prayerful consideration of what man is and in what his true end consists are the most important and profitable of the scholastic term because they are the dynamic source from which i'oreu and efficacy flow to motivate and influence his every-day life." Order of Exercise* The order of exercises for the retreat is as follows: 8:30 a.m.—Mm. 9 a.m.—lnstruction. 10 a.m. Class. 12 noon—Lunch. 1 p.m.—Class. 2 p.m.—lnstruction and Benediction. 3 p.m.—Class. Both retreat masters are well known throughout the South for their retreats, according to Father Hatrel. Father O'Donnell, who formerly taught at Jesuit llligh school, is now at Spring Hill college, Mobile, Ala. He was recently appointed secretary and general manager of ' the college. Father Phalen is assistant pastor of Holy Name church. He formerly taught at Boston College Iligh school. Science Societies To Hear Dr. Perret "Industrial Medicine" will be discussed by Dr. Maxine Perrett, New Orleans physician, Monday at 8 p. m. in Bobet hall, it was announced by Walter Colbert, president of Agramonte, pre-me<|ical society. Dr. Perrett will address the combined group of Agramcnte, Theta Beta, and BEU. All members of these organizations are requested to attend. The public is invited. Melvin Mallerich, Arts and Sciences freshman, read a paper on tuberculosis at the last Meeting of the organization. "Tiberculosis was not known to the American Indians before the advent of the white man," Malltrich said. He explained that the disease is more prevalent among negroes and residents of the slums.

"For you they made the supreme sacrifice, not for the selfish ambitions of a Caesar or Napoleon, but that the constitution of the United States of America might grow younger with the ages and never be forgotten lore, and that the four freedoms it guarantees . . . may continue to flourish not only through . . . our great land, but that its principles might be communicated throughout the world. ". . . Nowhere in the history of the world have men laid down their lives so unselfishly or for such a noble cause." Service* Should Be Inspiration Father Curren told his audience that the services recalling the memory of Loyola's honored dead should be an inspiration "to do our part no matter what sacrifice is required." "When you feel tempted to complain about the hardships and sacrifices this war for freedom entails at home, think of the thousands of your fellow-citizens dying on the fiery, far-flung battlefields of the world. . . Let the memory hold back the critical, complaining word. . ." Selfish persons who are unwilling to do their part in the struggle for the freedom of the world, or who do it unwillingly, "are not even worthy of the name 'man', much less 'American'," the speaker declared. He also pointed out that the memorial service was not only in honor of the dead, but for the repose of their souls. He concluded his talk with a verse addressed to the beraved mothers of the 18 war dead. Weep not to think he died alone Far from his loved ones' care, For every son on the fields of war Has a mother who watches there And Mary who followed the bloody steps That led to Calvary Was with your boy when he gave his life That others might be free. She wrapped him warm in her mantle of blue And folded him to her breast Whispering in his listening ear "Son, come home to rest!" His haven was all that man 'night ask For who would choose nnother And comfort lies in these sweet words He died in the arms of his mother.

Hatrel, S.J., student counselor, pointed out that "the thre» days . . . which Loyola university sets aside each year . . . are the most important and profitable oi the scholastic term." "In the army the recruit, as soon as he is drafted, is sent to a staging area to get basic training in order that he may be fitted and adapted for army life. Retreat time might be compared to a staging area where the retreatant studies deeply and prayerfully the great truths which will fit ,iim for the great battle of life. "The three days then which Loyola university sets aside each year for prayerful consideration of what man is and in what his true end consists are the most important and profitable of the scholastic term because they are the dynamic source from which i'oreu and efficacy flow to motivate and influence his every-day life."
